Charlotte was attached at the hip with Grandma ("Beebah") while she was here. Here's some sweet pictures from while my mom was here. We had a great time together. I loved having her here to ask every question about everything. I've missed her so much, it was a much needed visit. We didn't really do a whole lot since Leah was still too little to really take anywhere. We had a picnic lunch at the park, went out to eat, took a drive around town, and watched TV. Looking back, I was still recovering a lot more than I wanted to be. I wanted to go out and do a bunch of things and play games and stuff, but I was emotionally and physically TIRED. I'm hoping she had as good of a time as I did :)

Sweet Grandma :)
In my last post I was SERIOUSLY concerned that Charlotte hated me and the sweet relationship we had was shot now that little Leah was in the picture. Luckily, now that we've settled into a schedule again and I'm back to being the real mom, everything is all good. She still likes me :) And she loves her "bebe seeser". It's pretty cute. I love having two sweet girls to dress up everyday. It's also a blast to have all 3 of us matching. But that doesn't happen all too often yet.
Purple girls!
Cookie pizza day!
Sharing with her sister.
We'll be blessing Leah in our ward in 3 weeks, on July 3rd. We're super excited to have George's brother, Dean, coming to stand in the circle. It really means a lot to George to have at least SOME family here and in the circle with him. I'm excited to have visitors again! We'd love to have anyone else come if they want! We don't have a ton of room in our micro apartment, but there's a lot of good hotels right down the street.
Here's some things about Leah at 3 weeks old:
- Just like Charlotte, she sleeps a ton. She's waking up about every 3-5 hours to eat, then falls right back to sleep.
- I'm nursing, but apparently make good cream because she's already over 9lbs!
- Her eyes look just like George's to me. In fact, I think she looks more like him than Charlotte ever has.
- She grunts all the time. It's hysterical!
- She has a blow out diaper about every day. It's getting old.
- Her umbilical cord stump never fell off. It was hanging by a nasty thread on day 21.... so I cut it off. George was seriously concerned that I had opened up a portal into her abdomen because I didn't let it fall off naturally.
- She can't tolerate caffeine.... no Diet Coke for me :(
I'm so grateful to have little Leah in our family. We all love her to pieces.
Cute blue day.
You can guess what's going on in this picture. bwahaha!
